When attempting to initialize a new Git repository on my local machine, I encountered the following error: | |
----------------------------------- | |
| $ git init | | |
| error: couldn't set 'HEAD' | | |
----------------------------------- | |
Git fails to create the .git/HEAD file during repository initialization. I have verified that I have full permissions in the target directory and that no existing .git folder or file lock is present. The issue persists even after cleaning the directory and retrying git init. | |
I have confirmed that: | |
- The target directory is writable. |
